A day in Doha, Qatar.

It was good to be back in #doha for a day trip during my last transit through #qatarairways I landed about 7am in the morning at Hammad International Airport Doha, got an Uber to the hotel! Rested for 3 hours and straight went to the first Attraction ~ Souq Waqif, there are so many food options, cultural attractions, local shops for buying souvenirs and to enjoy the traditional food/tea/coffee. After exploring Souq Waqif and having a scrumptious lunch, we walked towards the #dohaharbour to see the high-rise buildings view of the city center, after clicking some pictures there took another Uber to the city center and did some shopping before going back to the airport.

Souq Waqif: Doha’s Shopper’s Paradise Unveiled 🛍️✨ Ready for a retail therapy adventure? Souq Waqif in Doha isn’t just a market—it’s a dazzling maze of tradition, vibrant color, and irresistible bargains. Expect handwoven textiles, spice-laden alleys, and gold-draped storefronts, all wrapped in a centuries-old charm that’s perfect for a shopping spree! 🗺️ Itinerary & Must-Dos: Start at the main entrance and wander through the bustling labyrinth—don’t miss the falcon souq and handicraft stalls for a true local twist. Let your senses guide you through fragrant spice corners, glittering jewelry sections, and quirky souvenir shops. If you’re up for a caffeine fix, park yourself in a majlis-style café for creamy karak tea and prime people-watching. 📸 Insta-Worthy Shots: Snap the iconic arched corridors bathed in sunlight, the kaleidoscope of lanterns, and spice displays bursting with color—sunset lights make every photo pop! The central square lined with cafés is unbeatable for vibrant street shots. 🕘 Practical Tips: Open year-round, with shopping hours split (07:00-12:30, 15:00-22:00 Mon-Thu/Sat-Sun, and 12:30-22:00 Fri). Arrive early for relaxed browsing, and remember most shops close for afternoon siesta. Haggling is part of the fun—don’t be shy! Wear cool, modest clothing, and stay hydrated during warmer months. ⚠️ Key Precautions: Friday afternoons get packed—watch your bags and valuables. Some alleys get maze-like, so mark your meeting point if you’re with friends. Cash is king at many smaller vendors. #Doha #SouqWaqif #ShoppingSpree #TravelTips #Qatar
